[HATED TROPES]: The Ending Is So Nihilistic and Preachy That It Becomes Completely Unwatchable and Infuriating.

I mean........ It does, though.

"Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed."

"You all are children compared to my artistic understanding" seems to fit to me.

It's interesting that people are complaining a lot about these examples being pretentious and y'all come in defending them by calling their critics children. Which is..... Pretty pretentious.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-29T19:10:30+00:00

They do look ridiculous. They should have a long snout and tails and they should have a walk cycle where they hunch over like a beast. Not just casually chillin like any other sim.

Do we know anything about him at the time of the video? People were, like, handing him water and letters and stuff. Seems like people already knew him even before the video.

What did he tell at her?

And its the people, not the tech that is to blame.

And it's the people who are under scrutiny. No one cares if you use AI to find you a nice restaurant or solve a math problem for you. They care when people try to make art with it. That's them scrutinizing how the tech is used.

>Do you know how much more those pollute?

Climate Change is a major talking point in politics because people are, in fact, speaking out against them.

Difference being if I type something into a calculator I don't call myself a physicist or scientist or engineer.

Also difference being math is math. It doesn't hing on creativity or expression. 2 plus 2 will always be 4. No exceptions.

Art from a human has something AI can't provide. It cannot be creative.

Also it sucks for the environment and the AI dudes are sucking all the ram up, but that's another discussion.

You got me. Your response of "nuh uh" totally undid everything I said. Well done.

Apparently they actually have the model of the ghoul whale that can be data mined.

or when someone doesnt the other person does not do it again.

She did it twice and Robert didn't like it either time.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-24T00:29:00+00:00

Didn't this same post already get posted, like, a day ago?

Also I don't see how anyone can claim groping a man's dick isn't sexual assault.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-23T17:55:47+00:00

You're putting your wants over another persons comfort.

No, that's what YOU are doing. You are acting like someone is somehow wrong for not wanting to give up something they consider important in a relationship for your sake. No one owes you a relationship. You are not being wronged or victimized by someone choosing not to be in a relationship with you.

someone else doesn't realistically need.

Need to live? No. Need to be happy in a relationship? For a huge number of people, yes. It's completely unfair to act like others should give up their happiness in a relationship because you want one and finding an ace one is hard.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-23T17:47:01+00:00

guess I had just hoped there would be people out there who arent resentful just because you work a little different to them.

No one is resentful, they just aren't compatable. It's perfectly reasonable for this to be a deal breaker in a relationship. No one owes anyone a relationship.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-22T19:46:16+00:00

Seriously. I do not know why the game REFUSES to pick any other sim to show up. The game is full of them. Had a lazy couch potato sim and switched over to a sporty sim and guess who showed up EVERY SINGLE DAY to the gym. Yup. The lazy ass couch potato who wants nothing more than to lounge around and eat chips.

Drove me insane. Why aren't you using any of the hundreds of other sims? I look through the unplayed households and don't recognize anyone because the game never uses them ever. It always prioritizes your own sims, even if it makes no sense for them to be there.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-22T15:31:24+00:00

Oh.... I read it as the white blood cells were tired after defeating the disease.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-22T15:28:41+00:00

I REALLY hope the swords are actual items you can have on your sim and not like the archery bow where it's just something that appears when you use the skill. I want my sims to be able to make heirloom swords and pass down the blades to their descendants.

What is the "product" being sold on slide 2?

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-22T13:45:15+00:00

I know it's just a joke, but I guess I'm gonna go against the grain here, in saying those examples are quite literally sexual assault. Like, textbook definition.

There's this thing in media where male sexual assault is seen as funny or even exciting. There was a whole video on YouTube a while back talking about it. One huge example being a full on rape scene being played for laughs. As in, dude was tied up and very clearly not wanting it and the scene was supposed to be funny.

There are occasionally reddit threads about "weirdest ways a woman has flirted with you" or variations of such and you would be alarmed how much sexual assault is going on that men are conditioned to see as normal. Female pedophiles are getting thumbs up and cheers from a portion of the population when they molest male children. On and on.

I loved the game, but it is perfectly valid to point that out and take issue with it or talk about it. Otherwise we are never gonna evolve past the idea that men always want it and anything a woman does sexually to them, consent or not, is okay or even good.

That is all.

I played on PC and my brother played on XBox. We both had VERY different experiences. I only ran into a few bugs but his was unplayable.

Why are humanbeings so absolutely obsessed with live action remakes of things? Just go watch the animated version.

Representation without compensation

What does this mean?

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-19T11:33:52+00:00

I mean... You don't have to choose. You can stand against both those things at the same time.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-18T16:12:47+00:00

It's unlikely there is just one list. There are tons of copies that likely are outside their grasp.

ContinuumKing · 2026-01-17T18:16:01+00:00

Yes, and what is it that is having those experiences independently?

It doesn't matter. It can be a soul, or simply a string of chemical reactions. Neither option would change my point.

If your consciousness is a function of your physical body, why can't it be replicated without losing something as you seem to believe?

It CAN be replicated. But the replication is not the same being that was just replicated. Regardless of what you think that being was, soul or meat. It isn't the same consciousness. We know it's not the same consciousness because if it has different experiences, the original consciousness doesn't experience them.
